THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA
THURSDAY, OCTOBER I, 195ST
ANOTHER ONE
Here is another ‘‘Letter to the
Editor.” '
“In an article published in the
Newberry Sun, September 24,
1969, in regard to the three tex
tile mills being a collecting agen
cy for the labor unions in Newber-
iy, this is true, as we have an
agreement between the worker and
the company to do so.
“The writer lost sight of the
fact that these same textile mills
are also a collecting agency for
the U. S. Government, and coming
same ilk as they are, with the
January 1, 1960 they will be a col
lecting agency for the state. Even
the Newberry Sun is a collecting
agency for the' government.
Housewives, who employ a full
-riwio maid are collecting for the
j^rernment. This is what you call
check-off.
“In regard to employees joining
a union and cannot get out, only
fpn days during the year. This
period of ten days following the
signing or renewal of contracts is
*l«r> in our contract. Anytime dur
ing the year, if a member wants
out of the union, he can do so by
contacting the officers of the un
ion. You should not be surprised.
Signed, J. Ed McConnell, Secre
tary-Treasurer, Mollohon Local
324.”
May I say to my good friend
Ed—at least I hope he is still my
good friend—that I did not refer
to any- contract other than the
one at Oakland with respect to the
“eecape clause.” I am happy to
bear that Local 324 members have
freedom of choice to get in and
Fire Prevention
Week Observed
October 4-10
Is your home fire safe?
Do you know in what rooms
most fires start?
Would your family know what
to do if fire broke out?
There’s a burning need for you
to observe Fire Prevention Week,
October 4-10 by checking your
home for fire hazards.
Consider-these statistics:
Fire losses last year totaled $1,-
056,266,000, the second year in a
row that they have topped a bil
lion dollars. They showed a 21%
increase over the $870,984,000 re
corded five years ago.
There were nearly 300,000 resi
dential fires last year.
Fires claimed an average ol 11,-
602 lives each year during the
past eight years. Thousands more
were injured in fires.
Fire prevention, like charity, be
gins at home, and the average
homeowner, however generously
he treats his favorite charity in
other respects, is stinting him
self and his family on vital protec
tion against fire by failing to ob
serve one or more common sense
safety rules.
The National Board of Fire Un
derwriters, in connection with
Fire Prevention Week, has set
forth basic rules to follow.
Work Out Escape Plan
First of all, suggests the Na
tional Board, work out a Home
Escape Plan, with alternate routes
to the outdoors from every room.
Hold practice drills to be sure
each member of the family is cap
able of taking the routes that are
mapped out. Figure out a work
able method of reaching and res-
out of the union. You will notice
in the preceding letter, the writer
claims Oakland workers “did not
want the get on and off” proposal.
cuing anyone who is partially or
completely helpless. Always end
your drills at the same prearrang
ed meeting place, so everyone can
easily be accounted for.
Fire Prevention Tips
Most fires begin in either the
bedroom or the kitchen. The fol
lowing tips are especially appli
cable to those two rooms, through
may apply to every room in the
house:
1. Never smoke in bed. You
might fail asleep, drop your cigar
ette. Toxic gases from the fire
that might result could render
you unconscious before the heat
awakened you.
2. Don’t string electric exten
sion cords around the roonp Nev
er run cords under rugs or over
nails where they will wear, caus
ing short circuits, possible fire.
3. If you use a portable oil or
gas heater, be sure there is feesh
air in the room and turn it off be
fore going to bed. Many people
are suffocated every year because
they use unvented oil or gas
heaters in tightly-closed rooms.
4. Place portable heaters where
they cannot be tipped easily, trip
ped on, or over-turned. Never car
ry an oil heater while it is light
ed. Set heaters level, out of the
line of traffic, and away from com
bustibles such as curtains, bed
ding, etc.
5. Do not use lighted matches
to search dark closets. Use a flash
light.
Kitchen Precautions
In the kitchen observe these
precautions:
1. To prevent a grease fire in
the stove, clean out oven regul
arly. thus avoiding an accumula
tion of grease. And keep grease
containers away from your stove.
If a grease fire does start while
you’re cooking, first turn off the
burner. Then cover the burning
pan with a large flat cover us
ing a long handled fork or smoth
er it quickly by sprinking ordin
ary baking soda or salt on it.
2. Make sure window curtains
or hanging towels don’t blow over
stove burners.
3. If you use an oil or kerosene
stove, keep main storage of oil
outside. Never refill when the
stove is lighted. Keep stove clean
and free of dirt. Don’t use as fuel
either gasoline, crankcase oil or
any oil containing gasoline.
4. Make it a habit to discon
nect your electric iron, when in
terrupted by a phone call, the
door bell, or caller.
5. Never keep flammable clean
ing fluid, such as gasoline, in the
house. Use safe cleaning fluids.
6. To prevent those mysterious
fires caused by ‘spontaneous igni
tion” never put oily rags or cloth
saturated with paints, furniture
polish or wax in closets or cup
boards. Instead., get rid of those
which you will not need again, and
keep the others in covered metal
containers. Keep your waxers and
floor mops in cool open places.
7. Never throw flour, uncooked
cereals or dust from a vacuum
cleaner or ftustpan into a stove
fire, or into a burning incinerator.
Dust is explosive. Wrap up dust
and dispose of it safely.
8. Never year loose, flowing
robes or negligees while cooking.
A sleeve or sash may catch fire on
one of the burners.
Remember, fire prevention is
everybody’s business, not just the
fire department.
An Ounce of Prevention
An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure, and the best way
to achieve fire safety is to keep
fires from happening.
Follow the basic rules of safe
ty and your home is well on the
way to being fire safe.

Chevvy Presents
Little Car For
Public Approval
The Chevrolet Motor Division,
v.hich earlier released details of
its highly original Corvair, an
nounced the rest of its 1960 pas
senger car line today.
*A distinctive new appearance,
added comfort and increased eco
nomy of the most popular V8 en
gine are among outstanding fea
tures.
Nineteen models (including the
Corvair and the spirited Corvette
sports car) will be included in the
first public showing by Chevrolet
dealers on October 2.
All passenger car series have
been completely re-styled. There
is a fresh new appearance to the
exteriors. The interiors are room
ier and offer new elegance of up
holstery and sidewall treatment.
The most notable design changes
occur in frontal and rear areas. An
oval-shaped grille spans the hood
and encloses widely spaced twin
headlamps at the outer edges. The
wing overhang at the rear has
been revamped to widen the trunk
opening and lower the loading sill.
An ensemble of circular tail-lamps
relaces the former tear-drop con
figuration.
Side-trim mouldings establish
distinctive appearance for the Im-
pala, Bel Air and Biscayne series.
The front compartment trans
mission tunnel has been signifi
cantly reduced in width and height
to benefit roomness. The frame
has been reinforced and new rub
ber-insulated body mounts give a
quiter ride.
In addition to the new economy
in the Turbo-Fire V8, the power
packages include a six and six
other V8 choices. To improve over
all economy and engine perform
ance in the normal driving ranges,
a low-lift camshaft with reduced
valve overlap, and recalibrated car
buretor are featured on the new
economy Turbo-Fire V8.
New tires are more durable.
Tread life has been increased 12
percent by new synthetic rubber
and a change in the proportion of
synthetic and natural rubber. The
higher energy-absorbing tread ma
terial also promises less impact on
bumps, reduced tire squeal on
turns and surer traction.
Brakes have been improved and
